While I consider myself a passable photographer I must admit I'm a little "old school" when it comes to cropping photos. I've got three crops of the same photo here and I'd appreciate some feedback #1  #2  #3  Oct 20 05 06:00 pm Link I personally like the last two. The second to last one being the best of the two. I do not like cropping the edges so close to the model that they look like they are boxed in. I prefer to let the image breath a little, so to speak. Oct 20 05 06:04 pm Link I agree with GB, Usually I shoot with about an inch of space above the head (damn film rules) this will allow you some depth and as GB said, won't box you in. Out of all, I like the last one best. I always get shit cause I prefer having mostly head and shoulders or upper torso photos. This is cause I like the focus to be on the eyes. So the last one gives this effect which is why I like it best. Oct 20 05 06:08 pm Link mag-jr wrote: I do like that one as well. I just like the second to last one better mainly because it has nicer skin tones than the last one. If they had the same skin tones id consider the last two a tie Oct 20 05 06:22 pm Link I like #3 best. For me it cuts down un the extra backdrop without cropping too close, yet puts more focus on the face Oct 20 05 06:26 pm Link cropping too close to the hairline can accentuate the model's forehead- I'd suggest cropping further down or up my thoughts  Oct 21 05 09:42 pm Link I like #3 the best... what about cropping it as a vertical?

Makes it more dynamic. Personally I love cropping into the top of the head, I don't understand why people automatically have problems with that. Oct 21 05 10:40 pm Link I like #3. The model has great eyes and i think that is what you want to accentuate. #3 shows that off more, because it makes the viewer look at her face. Oct 21 05 11:05 pm Link I like 1 and 3..one because it makes her face look thinner..and three because..it just does. I like the image. Very nice Glamour.

I liked #3 and so did many of you. So #3 is my new avatar. Oct 25 05 09:38 am Link |
